Well..I would like this guy to give the same test to the NEW Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee..Rockefeller..

He comes across as dumb as a box o rox....but, he also comes across as corrupt.

HE is the one that will use his position to try to bring down Cheney and Pres. Bush...he also is guilty of telling Syria and other countries in the region that we were going to invade Iraq..before Pres. Bush ever announced it..

Certainly in enough time for Syria to get with Saddam and hide the WMDs...but, this is the dumb part....he told what he did on national TV..bragged about it.

This osnot simply a Shia/ Sunni thing. The problem is also Arab/non-Arab.
The Kurds are, after all, Sunni. So are the Turks. The People of Syria are mainly sunni, but they are run by a Shia governbment. The ethnic complicity of the Middle East is something that our fearless leaders should become aware of.

It would not surprise me if they are going to get rid of Homeland security and the Patriot Act. Or at least try to

hey have been so busy tormenting President Bush they havent tried to learn. Now that they have it in their hands they havent got a clue.

Ah but now they DO NOT have it on their hands

Because a "BIPARTISAN " ISG with Meese--Eagleberger and Baker ( all former high ranking members of GOP administrations) has given them all the cover they need

They don't need any plans or anything at all for that matter .All they have to do for the next 2 years is SHOUT

IMPLEMENT THE ***BIPARTISAN*** ISG RECCOMENDATIONS

Proves with enough money or support anyone can run for office and then get on important committees and eventually run those committees and still have no clue about the subject matter at hand. Then they have the audacity to throw blame at the President when our country is attacked.

Especially when you consider he WAS a border control agent. Makes me wonder how many walked in right past him?

On the day in 2003 when Iraqi mobs toppled the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad, Bush was said to be unaware of the possibility that a Sunni-Shia civil war could fill the power vacuum, according to a reliable source with good White House connections. If President Bush and some of his closest associates, not to mention top counterterrorism officials, have demonstrated their own ignorance about who the players are in the Middle East, why should we expect the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee to get it right?
Hey, this sounds like the soft bigotry of low expectations!

I have to wonder if these rats are not told exactly how to vote, and therefore they feel no need to get up to speed on the issues.

Makes me think of the old story of the rats following the Piper into destruction. We are indeed, in deep trouble.

The report of that Committee was the most stupid thing I ever heard of.

It is hard to believe that so called intelligent men could have written it. If I were James baker i would go into hiding--it was that bad.

There you go again, with that sharp memory of yours. Rockefeller should have been drawn and quartered.

That would be good because Bush would simply veto any such idiocy.

I believe the RATs are going to be much smarter than that.

Reyes has an AA degree from a community college and has taken a few classes at U.T., so you get what you pay for.
